Hi, My landline has a lot of crackling/static noise.Seven months ago BT came a renewed two boxes which they claimed had become corroded with age and condensation. Now the same problem has returned. Often the line is clear for 20 to
30 seconds then the noise starts and varies in level. They charged =A3128 then, for what I could and should have done. My fault. Should have realised. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. Am thinking an electrician who claims to know about such things might be able to do a more lasting job more cheaply. I have done all the checks BT recommends and others I can think of including attaching an old corded phone and taking all other plugs out. Now we are with O2 and all they will suggest, of course, is to call in BT again. Any and all observations will be appreciated and valued. Thank you. David G.- posted
